The other day i had a Ubuntu melt down, i had loaded it up and had it running smoothly! Yeah, then i decided to hit the net with it. Yeah Daddy here we go!

Hmmmm no matter what i tried it could not see the wireless driver. So anyway i explained that issue on the other post. Long story short i took ubuntu off the hard drive, and let me tell you that was no cakewalk!

Had to repair windows. Swore i was done with linux for now, but after a day or two of cooling down i loaded per a suggestion from a forum Red hat Fedora. guess what, it immediately saw my wireless card! HHHhhmmm now i can surf the net, but as any smart person might suspect that was the end of the joy, the next day firefox froze! After two days of digging, and research i find that the latest fedora and firefox builds are for lack of a better term, not friends!

So i download Opera, and install it on the hard drive, bang i am up and running on the internet. I have sound, internet, and as of this afternoon e-mail thru evolution mail.

This is not for the faint of heart, but it can be a bit of fun, as Owen said, you are in the driver seat, what he didn't say was there are no brakes and no seat belts. Hang on for the ride!

I do not know how far i will go with this, but at least i will give it a try. What i want is to move all internet and e-ail functions there and just use windows off the WWW.
